Quite possibly the single biggest limiation on my lifestyle is finding the time to work on all my projects.
Note: I have time to work on them. The problem is making sure that I get around to each and every one of these projects regularly.

- Animation
- Writing Giant Armors
- Improving Syllable.org
- Writing a website for a friend
- Improving security and general maintenance on this web server
- Blogging
- Keeping up with the anime market
- Scheduling Guy’s Night Out
- Cooking and baking

Don’t know. I’m still working on this. Any suggestions?
